Irena Sendler is a national heroine of Poland, who was compared to Oskar Schindler and nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. During World War II, Irena saved 2500 Jewish children from the Holocaust, although each operation posed a deadly danger... to her and her loved ones.
This book tells the story of Irena: how a tiny woman secretly built a whole network to save children, along with her allies, led children out of the ghetto through sewer pipes, hid them under coats and in coffins, and slipped through secret passages in abandoned buildings. Irena became one of the key figures of the Resistance, which managed to rescue her from the clutches of the Gestapo, and an unprecedented symbol of courage for all women.
